  Chakra Benefits: Sacral Chakra

  The moment Carnelian enters your auric field, its energy moves directly to your sacral chakra and becomes distributed through the rest of your body through your blood and lymphatic system. Carnelian's powerful enlivening effect on the sacral chakra empowers the cells of your body as they become programmed with its vitalizing energy. Once the cells reach an apex of nourishment from Carnelian's energy, they become soothed and relaxed, allowing your cells to reset to their original blueprint of optimal health and renewed vitality.

  Carnelian has a similar effect on your emotions as it does your physical body. Carnelians energy calms and balances your emotional body allowing it to express feelings with greater ease and clarity. Instead of vitalizing and strengthening your emotions, which it does for your physical body, it calms and balances your emotions, ridding, and dissolving negative feelings that interfere with a balanced and enlivened emotional body.

  Color ray deficiencies manifest in the body differently depending on the color ray and the individual's condition of health. If you have an orange color ray deficiency, you are likely to experience suppressed immune functions and a weakened lymphatic and endocrine system. The lymphatic system supports the body's immune system by transporting white blood cells throughout your body, as well as helping to get rid of waste and toxins. The endocrine system helps regulate hormones involving sleep, sexual function, and metabolism, among others. It is no wonder Carnelian has such a powerful effect on the endocrine system, since its functions are naturally supported by the sacral chakra.

  As Carnelians energy moves between the sacral and crown chakra, it gives vitalizing energy to the crown, fostering greater passion and enthusiasm towards one's life purpose. Although we are multidimensional beings, Carnelian's energy helps localize your higher consciousness mission in this world. It vitalizes the body's health so that you can experience and accomplish your life's purpose with pleasure and enthusiasm.

  Symbiotic Gemstones

  Carnelian is best worn with gemstones that align with its mission. However, it can be combined with many gemstones for therapies and daily wear.

  Color Ray

  Carnelian is the carrier of the Orange color ray. Gemaceuticals is proud to offer the highest representation of the orange color ray expressed in our Precious Carnelian necklaces.

• Carnelian has a silicon dioxide chemical composition and is the orange and red variety of chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline form of Quartz. Quartz is a mineral with many different varieties that look different but are of the same chemical formula. These different varieties of Quartz are separated into three categories based on the size of the crystals:

  • Large single and twin crystals such as Amethyst, Citrine, and Rose Quartz
  • Microcrystalline aggregates (which are small but not microscopic crystals) such as Quartzite, Aventurine, and Tiger’s Eye
  • Cryptocrystalline Quartz (which is an aggregate of many microscopic crystals) such as Carnelian, Bloodstone, Agate, and Onyx
  
  

  Carnelian has a hardness of 6-7 on the Moh’s scale, and microscopic iron oxide minerals inclusions cause its orange and red color.

  Geographic Origin

  Brazil and India

  Common Treatments

  Natural unheated Carnelian is naturally forming, although the majority of Carnelian on the market today is dyed and heated. Low quality pale yellow or gray Agate is often dyed then heated to make Carnelian. Mild heat treatment does not affect the therapeutic potency of the gemstone; however, when Carnelian is dyed, its therapeutic effects are diminished.

  Synthetic and Imitations

  Low-quality Carnelian is often dyed pale Agate, and is relatively affordable. Because of this common treatment, synthetics and imitations are less common than with other gemstones. However, when they do occur, glass and plastic are used as typical Carnelian imitations.

• The color of Carnelian varies from reddish-orange to orange. The highest quality therapeutic Carnelian has a pure transparent orange to reddish-orange color. It has eye clean clarity, with no visible inclusions, meaning they are unable to be seen with the naked eye. Exterior blemishes such as nicks, scratches, and abrasions, or internal inclusions such as cloudiness, or fractures also significantly reduce Carnelians therapeutic effects. Carnelians optimal color is a deep reddish-orange to orange hue, similar to what is seen in a rainbow. This color is best experienced when the gemstone is taken outside and looked at in indirect sunlight. When this is done in higher-quality Carnelian, you will see a luminous bright orange glow emanate from within the gemstone. The more common Carnelian on the market is a deep muddy and cloudy red, which is often dyed, rendering its low therapeutic quality.

  Precious Carnelian vs. Semi-Precious

  Gemaceuticals offers both precious and semi-precious Carnelian. Both are natural, contain no dye, and far exceed the Gemaceuticals therapeutic grade requirements. Our precious Carnelian comes from a very high-quality yellow chalcedony that is lightly heated. This heating process consists of placing the chalcedony in a clay pot for 15-24 hours. This gentle process mimics the natural conditions Carnelian undergoes when formed in the Earth. This Precious Carnelian carries the most potent energy of the orange color ray. It is regarded as extremely rare, powerful, and resides in Carnelians highest therapeutic quality grade.

• Proper care and cleansing practices are vital to the health of your Gemaceuticals™ gemstones and crystals. Your gemstones are energetic tools, and the more you wear and use them, the more aware you need to be of their proper cleansing methods. Some gemstones need special care, but all can be cleansed by the applications of the universal cleansing methods listed below.

  Salt Cleansing

  Salt has been used for thousands of years as an energetic tool for cleansing. There is a very unique attribute to salt that cleanses and absorbs the energy in its environment. Its ability to energetically "reset" and absorb the negative or build-up of energy of a gemstone and its non-invasive nature, makes it the first and primary cleansing method you should use on all of your crystals. Laying your gemstones in a bowl of salt near your bed, or on a salt block is ideal. Replace the salt every few weeks or as needed.

  Plant Cleansing

  The energy of plants and nature, (even house plants), has also a powerful healing and energetically nourishing reset. Laying your gemstones on a house plant, indoor moss, or on top of its soil, is a way for the natural nourishing energies of the Earth to assist with the cleansing of your gems. This can also assist in cleansing the gems when they have been affected by radiation or x-rays. You may rest your gemstone on an outdoor plant, however, dependent on the gemstone, it should not be laid out in the sun for longer than 30 minutes at a time as solar radiation can alter the color and therapeutic effects of certain gemstones.

  Sun Cleansing

  Sun cleansing clears, energizes and revitalizes your gemstone. Place your gemstone directly on the energy of the Earth and allow it to absorb the sunshine for 5 to 20 minutes. Your gemstone should not be laid out in the sun for longer than 30 minutes at a time because solar radiation can alter the color and therapeutic effects of certain gemstones.

  Water Cleansing

  Water cleansing is a practical and desirable way to quickly cleanse your gemstones of dirt and oils they have accrued during regular wear. Place gemstones in warm and cold water interchangeably for 15-30 seconds. Small amounts of very mild natural soap may be used on occasion. Gently pat dry with a soft clean cloth. Gemstones that should AVOID water cleansing: Malachite, Lapis Lazuli, Sodalight, Indigo, Mother of Pearl, Turquoise, Chrysocolla, Azurite.
